Re: [MiNT] XaAES tempering with XBIOS resolution



Ideally, xaaes should be aware of supervidel in all contexts (mainly video resolution dialog).

Hi guys,

since I'm a proud owner of the SuperVidel and I don't like when my favourite OS does something bad to my toys ;-)

xaaes/src.km/k_init.c:695:

                                /* Ronald Andersson:
                                 * This should be the method for falcon!
                                 */
                                nvmode = vcheckmode(cfg.videomode);
                                if ((nvmode & (1 << 4)) &&      /* VGA_FALCON */
                                    (nvmode & 7) == 4)          /* is 16bit */
                                {
                                        nvmode &= ~(1 << 3);            /* Set 320 pixels */
                                }

Pep once tried to point out at this and the code is still there. So is there anybody in the list making a sense of this? (for non-technical audience, this code checks, whatever resolution is, if we're running on VGA and hicolor and if yes, force it from 80 columns to 40, i.e. 320 pixels, i.e. half resolution which makes not very nice things once you want to specify 1920x1080x16bit, right?)

TL;DR version: if I send a patch which removes this nonsense, will it get accepted?
